  1. One reason is that Mayo generally interviews students outside of North America separately (not sure if this applies). Given Mayo's unique funding model (institution funds students, not PIs), there is no difference between international and domestic student chances.
  2. Great profile, I don't think your MCB background won't be a big deal to adcoms. BME PhD students come from diverse backgrounds and I think that it should be no problem If you're interested in MRI or imaging (CT, US, etc) research, you might want to consider UW-Madison, JHU and Mayo Clinc.
  3. Last year, I got my interview to Michigan during the first JHU interview weekend, so there's still time.
  4. Last year, I did nine interview weekends and I agree with Extra Expresso, there is simply not enough time to recover between weekends because by the time you are home and settled for a day, you need to start preparing for the next weekend. Personally, I would filter out places once you find one or two places that seem like a really good fit. I went to all of them because I didn't want to leave any stones un-turned and didn't want to have any regrets about the process. As mentioned above, the weekends are a lot of fun so just enjoy them! Northwestern's weekend is an interview, but it felt more like a recruitment weekend (not sure on acceptance rates, etc.). The interviews themselves were somewhat casual, only 2/5 interviews were with faculty...at least in the drug delivery/tissue engineering area. Minnesota's skype interview isn't a technical interview. My interviewer briefly asked me about my research experiences, then proceeded to ask a series of questions regarding why PhD, why Minnesota, what are your research interests, etc. I wouldn't sweat the interview, good luck!
  5. Look forward to meeting you too! I was wondering how important it is to interview with the professor whom you would like to work with because the professor I wanted to meet isn't available one of the dates?
